Terms of Use

Community Guidelines for Proper Conduct in the Service:

• Consider boundaries. Comfort levels vary from person to person. Therefore, we do not allow sexual content or frivolous relationship-seeking, both on your public profile and in private conversations between Users.
• Share with care and discretion. Do not publicly post your personal information or ways for others can contact you (such as phone numbers, email addresses, or social media nicknames). Sharing sensitive information like your bank account number or email password is always a bad idea. For this reason, the Community Guidelines prohibit you from asking others to send you their personal information, and you must not provide your personal information to others.
• Communicate with respect. Engaging with new people can be challenging, especially when interacting with a diverse range of individuals. A little mutual respect can go a long way.
• If the conversation goes unexpectedly wrong and you find yourself feeling nervous or angry, take a moment and think before responding. Harassment, threats, bullying, intimidation, doxing, sexual or other blackmail, or any actions
intended to cause harm are strictly prohibited.
• Ringle is not a place for hate. Racism, hatred or violence based on a person’s identity, personality or appearance will not be tolerated. This includes (but is not limited to) someone’s race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, disability, physical appearance, gender, age, national origin. If you encounter someone you don’t connect with, you can swipe left to signal a mismatch or cancel the match and move on. Only report them if you believe they have violated our
policies.
• Promote kindness and remember - do not treat others in ways that you would not like to be treated. Any action or behavior that implies, intends, or causes harm to another User – whether online or offline, physically or digitally - will be taken very seriously.
• If you have been harmed by someone using the Service or as a result of using the Service, we encourage you to contact us. We are here for you.
• Stay around to stay active. If you haven’t logged into your account for a year, we may assume it’s dormant and could delete it due to inactivity. Log in every now and then to remain featured in the App.
• Report to us if you believe in good faith or have reason to suspect that any User is violating the Community Guidelines or this Agreement through their behavior or uploaded content.

8. Account Termination or Blocking Policy

Without limiting Section 7, Ringle reserves the right to review and/or close your account, potentially without refunding your purchases, in cases where you misuse the Service or behave in a manner deemed inappropriate or illegal by Ringle. This includes violations of our Community Guidelines, Terms of Use, or the Agreement with us, whether actions or communications occur within the Service or externally with individuals met through it, as well as in a situation where your account has been dormant for over a year. Ringle may take all available legal actions in response to illegal or unauthorized use of the Service, including account termination.

Consequences for violating our Community Guidelines will vary based on the severity of the violation and the User’s history. For example, a first violation may result in a warning, but repeated violations could lead to restricted access or account disabling.

We reserve the right to remove User content and/or block a User who violates the rules, which may include closing their account and/or refusing to open a new account, either temporarily or permanently. Violations are monitored through (a) reports from other Users and (b) manual profile reviews. To clarify, if your account receives a certain number of reports from different Users, it may be temporarily blocked automatically.

​

You may dispute any matters regarding account termination or blocking by contacting our support at support@ringledating.com or through the in-app support chat.

12. Content of Other Users.

Ringle reserves the right to review and remove content that violates this Agreement, but the responsibility for such content lies solely with the User who posted it. The Company may, at its sole discretion, review User content before it is published on the Website and monitor it following complaints to check for inappropriate or illegal behavior or breaches of the Terms of Use, including by automatic means, provided that the Company retains the right to treat User content as stored at the Users’ request, and will not exercise editorial control, unless violations are brought directly
to the Company’s attention. Ringle cannot guarantee that all User content on the Website will fully comply with this Agreement. If you come across content on th Service that violates this Agreement, you must report it through the Service or via email at support@ringledating.com.

13. Purchases.
In general. From time to time, Ringle may offer products and services for purchase, such as subscriptions and account promotions (“In-App Purchases”) through App Store, Google Play Store, mobile carrier billing, Ringle direct debit, or other payment platforms approved by Ringle. If you choose to make an In-App Purchase, a confirmation message will appear, requesting you to confirm the purchase through the appropriate payment provider, and your payment method (a third-party account such as Google Play Store or App Store) (your “Payment Method”) will be charged for the In-App Purchases at the displayed prices for the selected service(s), as well as VAT, purchase taxes or similar applicable taxes, and you authorize Ringle or a third party account, as applicable, to charge you.

14. Automatic Renewal; Automatic Payment by Credit Card

If you purchase an auto-renewing subscription within the App, your Payment Method will continue to be charged for the subscription until you cancel it. After the initial subscription period ends, it will automatically renew at the price you agreed upon when signing up, unless you cancel before the renewal date. Your credit card information will be stored and used for automatic payments in accordance with this Agreement.

If you wish to appeal a payment already made, contact our customer support if charged directly by Ringle, or the relevant third-party provider (e.g., App Store). You can also appeal by contacting your bank or payment provider, who will be able to provide more information about your rights and the process timelines. You may revoke consent for automatic payments at any time through the applicable third-party provider. However, please note that you will remain responsible for any outstanding balance.

To prevent your subscription from automatically renewing, or if you wish to modify or cancel it, you are required to log into your third-party account (app stores) and follow the instructions to terminate or cancel your subscription. This applies even if you have deleted your Ringle account or removed the Ringle App from your device. Please note that payment management for In-App Purchases, including subscription, its cancellation or termination, is conducted through your third-party account in the relevant app store. Therefore, deleting your Ringle account or removing the Ringle App from your device alone will not automatically terminate or cancel your subscription; Ringle will be entitled to the amounts charged to your Payment Method until the termination or cancellation of your subscription, as payment for the service during the relevant subscription period, as permitted by applicable law. If you have canceled or terminated your subscription, you may continue using it until the end of the remaining subscription period, and your subscription will not be renewed after the end of the remaining period. This section is not intended to limit rights granted to you by law, and in general, Ringle users who live in Germany may cancel the subscription after it has been renewed with one month’s notice, and their right to cancel for justified reasons remains intact.

In instances of direct payment to Ringle, we reserve the right to correct any billing errors or discrepancies, even after payment has been processed. If you initiate a chargeback or cancel a payment made through your Payment Method, Ringle may, at its sole discretion, immediately close your account.

Generally, we do not offer refunds for purchases, and no credits or refunds are provided for partial usage periods. We may deviate from the above in the case of a refund for a subscription if requested withing fourteen days from the date of purchase, or if required by applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including Israeli consumer protection laws.

Subscribers residing in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) are entitled, in accordance with local law, to a full refund within 14 days of the subscription’s commencement, without the need to providing a reason. It should be noted that this 14-day period begins when the subscription starts. Subscribers in Israel may have additional rights under Israeli consumer protection laws.

You can notify us of a transaction cancellation by:
- Contacting the support chat in the App.
- By registered mail to 4 Abba Even, Jerusalem.
- By e-mail to: support@ringledating.com.
